they have had 5 years to update their tech. They could have developed a whole new stack and had it run side by side with the old one until they were sure it's ready.

Ace shall read now.
It's really annoying they haven't found a way to bundle in phone insurance for a bank that works... only through a phone. It's only my natwest benefits (phone/holiday insurance and breakdown cover) preventing me from leaving and if Monzo offered similar things for a similar price I'd switch right away.
Sounds cool.
Is there a list of supported banks however?
Currently using Yolt to see all my accounts but they don’t support my saving account - used to but seems like Nationwide pulled the plug on one of the APIs, wonder if it’s the same in Monzo.

No joint account support which sucks for me as I share an account with the better half!
Will most likely join once they've added this.

Yea same, I would jump on it but honestly majority of spending comes from our joint account. I have no need to manage money in my sole account.
Edit:
Unboxing of the new card, looks nice.

Edit2:
Previously they had planned to include credit scores for free, but now it's paywalled in the new Monzo plus, that's damn sneaky!

I forget the last time I actually used the card - Plus, it's the wrong colour!

For me it's usually at Tesco petrol station when doing a full tank.

The shiny card looks nice and having all my credit card balances in one place would be nice but there's nothing there that makes me think it's worth £5pm.
Reminds me of my Revolut card - Not a fan personally...
Can’t see a big enough reason to pay £5 a month for the plus account personally...
I’ve decided to go with Starling for my Business account, but I am tempted to go with Monzo for my personal account.
Cam in to say this. The Plus features just look a bit meh to me. Def not worth £60 a year.

After having had a good look at what it offers, that's my feeling. £5/month doesn't sound much but that's £60/year and I don't think it's worth it.
Most of it you get with Starling for free.

Yea I've got to say it's pretty disappointing. The appeal to the wider general public isn't going to be there. I can't see them caring 1 bit about exports to Google sheets, extra categories and credit scoring. There are no tangible benefits, and it's only available on sole accounts.
I can see only a small up take for the Plus accounts.

I love Monzo but can't see the value in the premium card offer - if they let us put our own pictures on the card I would pay 
Fully switched over to Starling. Day and night diffrence (used to bank with Santander). All direct debit switched over etc.
Like how you get notifications instantly when paying for goods etc etc. The app isclean, and simple to use.
Created 2 Spaces, need to save some money on the side. Plus ordered the Connected card too.
So far enjoying the new experiance with Starling. Will be ordering a Monzo card soon.
